Evil!Moody. Cindy's been plugging hard for that one a
long time.

Hey, you know. I think I agree with you about
Evil!Dumbledore. It'd be like Evil!Gandalf.
Unthinkably horrid of JKR.

I think that the potential problem with this approach
is that JKR has already written a terrible betrayal.
Peter Pettigrew was one of James Potter's best
friends, and his secret keeper. 

And the fact that this happened in the past makes me
feel that we'll see it again somehow. 

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'll just keep my
fingers crossed and see.
